fripon / freeture Goto Github PK

Hi,

If I set the flag:
MAIL_DETECTION_ENABLED = true
then I get a crash like the one shown in the picture.

Regards,

Jim Rowe

To whom may concened,

OS : Ubuntu 14.04
Freeture version : 1.0-4
X.org X Server version : 1.18.3
g++ (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) 4.8.4

I set a configuration file like this :

# Limit size of logs on the hard disk (mo)
LOG_SIZE_LIMIT = 100

# Level of messages to save in log files.
# <normal> | <notification> | <fail> | <warning> | <critical>
LOG_SEVERITY = normal

After freeture rans for several hours, I got runtime error like below and freeture stopped.

boost::filesystem::remove: Directory not empty

Francois Colas asked me to give feedback on possible improvements to Fripon, so here it is, attached as PDF. I hope this is useful. Regards, Jim Rowe

Feedback on FreeTure 2016-12-30.pdf

I attach a user guide for FRIPON camera hardware using FreeTure for Windows. This is intended to make it easier for a non-expert to get a camera running autonomously. It is in English. I hope it is useful.

FreeTure Windows setup guide Ver 1.0.pdf

Hi,

I have the following flag set in the configuration file:
DET_SAVE_AVI = true
But no AVI file is written when a capture takes place. How can I change this? I am using the Windows version of FreeTure.

Thanks,

Jim Rowe

gstreamer dependence is probably obsolete.
Need to be reviewed and possibly drop out.

Hi,

I get part way through installation then get the error message shown in the bitmap, attached.

Hello,

I try to generate freeture with your tutorial in:
https://github.com/fripon/freeture/wiki/Visual-studio-2012-(fr).

when using Cmake i had to get openssl-0.9.8k_X64 to generate the VS solution
and i don't see it in the dependencies.

and when i try to generate the solution in VS i didn't succeed and had 46 warnings and 13 errors

I can publish the log if you wish

When event is detected it is convinient to run some script, like automatic uploader.
Here is example I use in my local build of freeture.

// ***************************** starting user script *****************************
if(boost::filesystem::exists(mdtp.DET_EVENT_USER_ACTION) ){
string commandString = mdtp.DET_EVENT_USER_ACTION + " " + mEventPath;
BOOST_LOG_SEV(logger,notification) << "Executing user command : " << commandString;
std::thread ut(this,commandString{ system(commandString.c_str()); });
ut.detach();
}

Source of the problem is simple - there is no code to parse value of this option hence executionTime variable is always 0.

Solution -> add a line:

if(vm.count("time")) executionTime = vm["time"].as();

Hi Chiara, you mentioned that this is a configuration issue (see screenshot below). However, the file configuration.cfg doesn't mention the directory home/fripon/data or similar. If I can't find the problem, I can't amend it. I tried to attach the configuration.cfg file but github won't allow me to attach it.

Aravis does support USB3 camera, could you add USB3 camera in FreeTure?
Finally, FreeTure can run in raspberry pi with a USB3 camera.
Thanks!

FreeTure needs OpenSSL to send mails by SMTP servers which require secured authentification.

FreeTure use arv_get_device_id() to access GigE cameras. This can produces conflicts when more than one camera is connected on the same network.
The possibility to access the camera via IP address must be added.

Hi,

The installation is almost complete, but stops here:

Hi,

I have Fripon camera 171 ready to install, but I am having difficulty installing Freeture for Windows. I attach a screenshot of the error message - I have not set the environment variable "PYLON_ROOT" in Windows 8.1. Do you have setup instructions for Windows?

Regards,

James Rowe

The current version of Aravis used by FreeTure is the 0.3.3-1 https://git.gnome.org/browse/aravis/tag/?id=ARAVIS_0_3_1

-> Update FreeTure according to the aravis's version 0.3.7-1

Attempting install produces a "CreateProcess failed" error code: 216. Details state that the version of %1 is not compatible with this version of Windows (it's 7 SP1). Which versions should the Windows installer work with? And if it should install on 7, what does the error indicate?

Thanks

I have ported Freeture to the ARM64 architecture and used Aravis 0.6, boost 1.65 and OpenCV3.3. It runs stable on an Odroid-C2. We will use this setup for the Fripon-Cam at the Kepler observatory in Weil der Stadt, Germany. If somebody can find some time, adding a native camera support module for Basler cameras using Pylon5 (now available for ARM64) would be good. Although Aravis is a good idea, it lacks a lot of camera setup possibilities and has some performance limitations.

I'm trying to install freeture in Opensuse 13.2
I already installed gstreamer 1.0

I can compile it but I got this message, could you help me?

Hi ,
For filter out the plane, what about a speed filter, for example, how many pixel per second, if a object's speed is slower than this, do not record. Just like UFO Capture.

V4L2 support. I want to use a watec 902 with stk1160 capture in linux to capture meteor.

Great software and I will try it.
Thanks.

Hello: Freeture gives a "An exception occured: environment variable "Pylon_Root" not found" message

I just found that while using custom resolution, camera region is not programmed correctly. For circular fisheye lenses region shall be centered else this option is of no use. While centered, cpu consumption as well as ethernet bandwith is saved.

I entered below command in terminal, I got an error message like this :

freeture -m 2 -d 0 -e 100 -g 300 --display
>>Error : boost:filesystem:create_directory: no such file or directory: "/home/fripon/data/"
freeture -m 4 -f 0 -d 0 -e 100 -g 300 --display
>>Error : boost:filesystem:create_directory: no such file or directory: "/home/fripon/data/"

even though freeture with mode 1 and 3 are working properly.

I am trying to install FreeTure in Windows 10 by following the installation instructions given by the wiki page at https://github.com/fripon/freeture/wiki/Installing-FreeTure. The instructions are very simple: "Execute freeture-X.X.exe". But, where do a find such an executable? Hate to ask such a simple question. Thanks, Al

Inside AcqThread, while initializing camera there is such a code:

// SET FPS.
if(!mDevice->setCameraFPS())
    return false;

// INIT CAMERA.
if(!mDevice->initializeCamera())
    return false;

The problem is that for AravisGigeCamera, initializeCamera() enforces 30 fps thus using setCameraFPS() is ineffective.

A temporary solution is replace those two code blocks with each other. I could place a pull request however I have no idea now how such a change will influence all other input sources. Thus writing a ticket only.

CRPIX keyword value must be computed automatically using NAXIS.

To have compile working with latest OpenCV one must change acx_opencv.m4 to:

• remove legacy and contrib libraries
• add videoio library

When the LOG_PATH configuration parameter is set to a non-existing directory, FreeTure stops running.
A better solution will probably be the creation of the missing directory.

hello
i use freeture on on two stations: one with debian 64bits, one with windows7 64 bits with usb2 sd video grabber and pal camera.
in the configuration file, i put DET_SAVE_AVI to true but i have no avi file in case of détection on both station

Hi,
Is't possible to output UFOCapture data format ? In this way, the data can be analyse by the free tool UFOAnalyzer.

Thanks
